Intorestin the one-thousand-dollar cham pionshlp stake plan continues to Increase. All sporting men except, of course, tho champions agree that its adoption would tend grently towards facilitating matches. It Is next to impossible now to arrange an impor tant match without nn endless amount of quarrelling over tho details, each sldo trying to get all the advantage. It makes it appear as if neither party woro over-anxious to fight. Tho champion invariably plocos his main dependonco for avoiding a fight on stipulat lng for a very high stake. This is ridiculous, as he could make just as muoh money by betting "on the outside" and by a proper arrangement of the gate-receipt part of the affair. ' Pete McCoy Certainly, a man who really means fight wilt be willing to fight for a 01,000 stoke. Tho stake isn't what pays the man for fighting; it'a tholr outside beta ami tho goto money, The high stake nonsense is only a Bluff. Hilly O'Brien I think there should be Bomo rule mode to compel a champion to no oept a VI, 000 stake challenge. He could make as much monoy fighting for a (1.000 stoke as for nil, COO. People will pay $100 to see a ohauiDion fight a good man. Ono hundred spectators at 8100 each would mean 10,000 gate receipts. The rules ought to be amended to as to make a champion fight for a $1,000 stake or forieit tho championship. - m The preliminary wrestling, sparring and fencing bouts of tho Amateur Athletio Union take place to-night at Parepa Hall, The men who will appear at the second annual contest of the Union on Saturday will be chosen from tho results of this trial meeting. Two promising feather-weight boxers are to moot within a week. They are ' ' Monte " Lewis, of this city, and Frank Ennls. ot Brooklyn. LewisMs being trained by Pete McCoy. Ennis is a pupil of Poddy Smith. Lewis had tho best of Collins, It will be re membered, when they were interrupted by the police, Collins weighed ISO pounds ana Lewis but 112. Lewis has defeated ' ' Nick " Burke, who weighed 128 pounds, and George White. He also bested Eddie Donnelly in a four-round contest with gloves. Donnelly welched 138 pounds and fought a draw with Billy Murray. The Twelfth Regiment Athletla Club will hold Its regular games on May 10. Gold medals will be awardod the winners In each event, and the second-place men will get sil ver ones. Entries close May 4. A reception will follow the games Dooney Harris is training Billy Murray at Flushing. Ho will second Murray in bis fight with Tommy Barnes. Billy "Murray, by the way, was formerly a letter-carrier in this city. He passod the civil-service examination with a grade of 85 per cent. Charles Engelbrecht, of Brooklyn, has ac cepted Champion Major Maguire's challenge to the world to fight with swords. At Harry Bartlett's recent benefit In Hew ark he had himself billed as ' ' the champion of England in his class." In view of the large-sized white feather he showed in his contest with Mike Cushing, this was decid edly " cheeky," to say the least. ' The Eagle Athlethio Club has disbanded, and its boat-house is for sale. Jack McAullffe and Billy Madden will spar at Horry Minor's Eightn Avenue Theatre next week. In order not to hurry Kilrain in his Eng lish jaunt, the fight bctwoen Mitchell, whom ho will second, and Jem Smith, has been DISARMING AN UNSEEN FOE.
